Description

Creates a group resource with a name and a filter expression.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  create-group
--group-name <value>
[--filter-expression <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]

Options

--group-name (string)

The case-sensitive name of the new group. Default is a reserved name and names must be unique.

--filter-expression (string)

The filter expression defining criteria by which to group traces.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To create a group

The following create-group example creates a group resource named AdminGroup. The group gets a filter expression that defines the criteria of the group as a segment related to a specific service causing a fault or an error.

aws xray create-group \
   --group-name "AdminGroup" \
   --filter-expression "service(\"mydomain.com\") {fault OR error}"

Output:

{
    "GroupName": "AdminGroup",
    "GroupARN": "arn:aws:xray:us-west-2:123456789012:group/AdminGroup/123456789",
    "FilterExpression": "service(\"mydomain.com\") {fault OR error}"
}
